On the front page of the newspaper today: New study proves that men and women talk the same amount--with differences, of course, in impersonality/objectivity vs. personality/subjectivity. Buried mid-way through the article was the observation that the belief that women talk more (and by implication more fluently) was, to begin with, the deliberate canard of a certain female-of-course "psychologist" [Louann Brizendine, authoress of "The Female Brain"] bolstering her silly-ass thesis of female superiority; which was repeated thence as scientific truth by those of similar bias [most of the "profession"].
